Lagos CIBN charts new way for economic prosperity

Lagos State chapter of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN) has concluded arrangements to chart a new way for the nation’s economic prosperity.
Consequently, eminent bankers and stakeholders will assemble to brainstorm on ‘The New World Economic Order: Imperative of a National Policy Rethink,’ which is theme for this year’s Bankers’ Nite scheduled to hold in July 27 in Lagos.
Kola Abdul, CIBN Lagos branch chairman, speaking at a media briefing in Lagos, said for the first time since inception, all stakeholders were being accorded their deserved attention in order to have a robust participation, hence the title was enhanced from Bankers’ Nite to Bankers and Stakeholders’ Nite.
“With the economic prospects of the nation improving at a snail speed, the economic policies must be revisited in order to confer deliberate advantage on our recovering economy,” Abdul said.
While the discussion at the 2016 edition was still reverberating, this year’s theme is even more promising as the main discussion will be led by the strategic economist, Temitope Oshikoya, CEO of Nextnomics, while Victoria Haastrup, and the executive vice chairman, ENL Consortium Limited, will direct the affairs of the day.
The night offers a great deal of opportunity for networking and a chance for re-union with old friends and colleagues. Practising and retired noble men and women of banking profession will have the opportunity to interact and trade old and new strategies of success.
To further add glamour, two state governors will be in attendance in addition to the regal presence of His Royal Majesty, Oba Kabiru Adewale Shotobi, the Ayangburen of Ikorodu.
As usual, the Governor of Lagos State Akinwumi Ambode, will be there as the special guest of honour.
